If you have Parkinson's, regular checkups and taking suitable medications are a good foundation, but there are many other things you can do to improve or at least help your situation. Many people attend dance and movement classes tailor made especially for Parkinson's, which can be highly beneficial. Physiotherapy, whether done at your local health center, or in the comfort of your own home, helps with mobility, range of motion and stability. A well balanced healthy diet, without doubt also plays an important role. For me the most important component is one's attitude and mood. I believe remaining cheerful is paramount and staying positive no matter what, is number one on my list. Apart from physical health, mental health is of equal importance, and keeping busy, optimistic, staying social, laughing and accepting unwelcome changes whilst making the most out of your life is what I preach. I wish the “happy gene” I have been blessed with, were contagious, I would happily infect everyone I come into contact with!!!
